Public domain

Personal diary of a London clothier who 'first learned astrology' in 1690, relating events of his private and business life to their astrological significance, with a pen-drawn horoscope figure on each non-tabular page. Unique manuscript: a handwritten codex held in the Wellcome Library's Western Manuscripts collection, so no second copy of this particular text-witness exists. Digitized by the Wellcome Collection and released under its Public Domain Mark.
